Steam has become a major platform for gamers with many MMORPGs listed on the platform
0:06
I decided to dive into the top 10 MMORPGs with the highest rating on Steam
0:12
This list has a number of surprises so you won't want to miss it
0:16
Which MMO do you think will be number one? Let me know your top 10 in the comments below and see if you can get them right
0:23
10. Lost Ark Kicking off our list at number 10 is Lost Ark
0:31
This fast-paced action MMORPG offers multiple classes, each with unique abilities and playstyles
0:39
Its emphasis on skill combos and fluid, visually stunning battles has many claiming it boasts one of the best combat systems in an MMO
0:48
Lost Ark's main content revolves around its challenging dungeons and raids where mastering mechanics and perfecting your build is key
0:56
While the game is free to play and loved for its raids and combat, it's not higher on the list due to the significant grind
1:04
the requirement for many alt characters, a poorly designed vertical progression system, heavy pay-to-win elements and players gatekeeping raids
1:15
9. Project Gorgon This indie MMORPG is an old school style game that's been in early access on Steam since 2018
1:27
It has earned a very positive rating from players thanks to its depth, great community and freeform skill system
1:35
If you're looking to scratch that nostalgic itch for a classic MMORPG that rewards exploration and you can look past the dated graphics
1:43
Project Gorgon is the game for you. 8. Adventure Quest 3D A free to play cross-platform MMORPG. I actually played this on iOS a few months back and had an absolute blast
1:55
It's an accessible MMO with a fun, bright cartoon artstyle that is updated on a weekly basis
2:02
You'll often find fun, entertaining and tongue-in-cheek humour and dad jokes littered throughout the game
2:09
This MMO doesn't demand any spending to enjoy and provides hours of entertainment
2:14
If you want an enjoyable and accessible MMORPG experience that you can take with you in your pocket as well as enjoy on Steam, Adventure Quest 3D is your next MMORPG
2:26
7. Wizard 101 I recently played this game and found it to be a chill, fun experience
2:33
With its vibrant, cartoonish artstyle, you become a wizard on a magical journey
2:38
The quests are engaging, although they can sometimes send you all over the place
2:42
The turn-based combat starts off simple but requires strategy as you progress
2:47
This family-friendly game is perfect for playing with kids. With regular updates, tons of content, housing, pets and more, Wizard 101 offers a magical adventure for young wizards and experienced ones alike
3:00
6. Lord of the Rings Online This game immerses you in the richly detailed world of Middle-Earth

3:28
the comprehensive MMORPG experience and strong community make it a must-play for any Lord of the Rings fan
3:35
Halfway through the list, we reach the classic old-school RuneScape and the regular RuneScape
3:40
These two games share a spot due to their shared heritage. RuneScape offers a modern, evolving world, while old-school RuneScape retains the look and feel of the game as it was in 2007
3:53
Both versions feature an expansive world, diverse regions and a wide range of skills to train
3:59
With hundreds of quests, stories, puzzles and battles, both games provide a nostalgic journey and hours of adventure

4:14
4. Guild Wars 2 Set in a high-fantasy world, Guild Wars 2 is known for its innovative gameplay mechanics and dynamic events
4:24
Many players love its gear progression system, which allows them to leave the game and return years later without feeling left behind
4:32
The game offers rich, immersive experiences with its engaging personal story, action-packed combat and emphasis on exploration and player choice
4:41
With regular updates and expansions, Guild Wars 2 continues to evolve, offering new challenges and adventures
4:48
3. Star Wars The Old Republic I played this game for a good period last year, and even though I'm not a huge Star Wars fan, I absolutely loved the MMORPG
5:00
The game features a fantastic story-driven experience with unique stories for each different class, fully voiced characters and cinematic cutscenes
5:10
Set thousands of years before the films, it offers dungeons and raids, known as flashpoints and operations, optional open-world PvP, space combat, world bosses, player housing and more
5:21
Pretty much everything you would want to see in an MMORPG, just with a Star Wars twist
5:27
If you even like Star Wars just a little bit, or you're an MMORPG fan, you should definitely try this free-to-play game
5:35
2. Final Fantasy XIV I thought this would actually be number one, but apparently not according to the Steam reviews

Seen by many as the benchmark for MMORPGs, Final Fantasy XIV offers a rich, immersive experience, blending elements of the Final Fantasy series with the engaging online gameplay
5:55
With its deep storyline, flexible class system and strong community focus, Final Fantasy XIV provides endless adventure and opportunities for connection
6:04
Players love the story and character development, despite most of the game being unvoiced
6:09
Regular updates and expansions keep the game fresh and exciting. The game's focus on dungeons and raids, alongside its very, very comprehensive role-playing elements, make it a must-play for both Final Fantasy fans and MMORPG enthusiasts
6:24
And finally, the top-rated MMORPG on Steam is one of my personal favorites, The Elder Scrolls Online
